It's not a good idea to set the local_domains for domains that are not
really on this server...
asume the foo.com has an aliased adress to foobar.com:
this adress will never rech the 2nd mailserver.
set only the domains local wo really _are_ local with
robert
PS: really i do not see the the advatage of the concept with 1
mysql-server. what is it good for?
make 2 separate and independet systems.
do you really need 2 servers here?
